    • Physical description: Inside the rim is Sūrah 108 of the Qurʾān in blue and at the bottom is Sūrah 112 in brown. On the outside is Sūrah 108 written in blue again, and the rest of the writing contains many repetitions of "lā ilāha illā Allāh" and "Allāhu akbar." Aside from the minor firing fault at the lip, it is in excellent condition.
    • Origin: Likely made in China for the Islamic market in the 18th century.
